Thank you for your order

December 09, 2013/ Marta M. Darby

We've received your order!

We've received your order and the Cuban elves here at My Big, Fat, Cuban Family are already hard at work putting together your Custom Subway Art.

(Okay, not really any elves. Just me, but that's not important right now.)

I'll be in touch with you as soon as I have a beautiful one-of-a-kind-made-just-for-you work of art for you to review. I'll send you an email with the final artwork ready for you to approve.

Thank you again for trusting me with your special gift.

xo,
Marta Darby

Years ago when Amy and Adam were very small and I was a single mother, I had a wonderful neighbor named Isabel. She was from El Salvador. Because I was one of the few people on the block that spoke Spanish, she and I became fast friends and would often compare cultural notes.

Although our foods had some marked differences and we would argue the merits of pupusas vs. empanadas, we both agreed that onions are God's gift to us and that plantains should be served with every meal. Amen.

Director Mira Nair's Passion for Queen of Katwe

September 29, 2016

It's always fun interviewing a director. It gives you a new and different perspective of the filmmaking process. As you know, I was in LA last week spending time interviewing the cast and director of Queen of Katwe. I also got to walk the Red Carpet at the premiere, which I'm going to keep talking about every single time I can, but that's not important right now.
